Actually, unless you want to deal with lots of dead cats, it's better to use something that just keeps them away in the first place.

We had about 19 different stray cats around the neighborhood at one time. Used a homemade spray like this:

http://www.instructables.com/id/Friendly-but-Effective-Cat-Repellent/

And haven't seen them on my property in a long time. Directly squirted a few with a super soaker I picked up at a thrift shop for cheap. They took off like they were on fire.

Also heard people use paintball and airsoft on them with some degree of success. YMMV.

I keep hearing this but it's never really came across as sincere, and whenever people like you are asked why you do this you're extremely defensive about it.

>>30986151
Deflecting my statement huh, lets try that again. I think you're using this as excuse to shoot animals. I think you don't really give a damn about it being an invasive species, I don't think you give a damn about the environment. I think you want excuse to kill things.

You're likely a psychopath.
>>
>>30986347
No, you sound as though some of us wanting to get rid of invasive species is insincere, despite invasive species being ecologically terrible for any given environment.

So answer the question, what do you purpose would be better to get rid of an invasive species, which will push away native species and over consume and destroy a given area, other than trying to shoot and otherwise remove them for good through violent means?

Flea theory is a bit weak, as fleas are actually picky eaters, and there have been very little records of mass rat death, which would prompt the flea from changing hosts.

22LR works okay, but not great. I was always partial to 9mm (from a carbine) or 22Mag.

Don't try live trapping them unless you are willing to shoot or spear them in the trap, a disturbing number are afflicted with rabies and will fight over flee. I recommend snares if realistic. Wear gloves when handling the bodies, many have fleas and ringworm.

After years of dealing with my neighbors' feral cat factory a couples miles down the road and having a rabies scare, I just started popping them with a 25-06.

You're trying to make it out like I'm against the way you're killing animals, it's not that, it's the intentions that I'm questioning, I know you're not very intelligent as our conversation has gone along, but let me make this very clear.

You're full of shit if you're trying to convince me that you're just doing this for the environment. You only want to shoot animals for fun. Your intentions are for pleasure, not for protecting the environment, that's just a result of you getting your jollies out of shooting animals.

I am not saying this is wrong, but the fact that you're trying to cover it up shows me you're likely a psychopath.

How will you identify the differences between a feral cat and domestic one without a collar?
>>
>>30987217
I've only started to respond with >>30986151. I'm not the original person you have been speaking with.

And as for identifying feral and domestic, yes it is with the collar. That is also how feral and domestic dogs are also identified, except cats do nothing when left out, but kill just about anything and everything they can, along with becoming disease vectors themselves, like rats. They are incredibly destructive, and have caused numerous of native species all over the USA to hit a point where extinction is very immanent, if not already.

"I've only started to respond with >>30986151. I'm not the original person you have been speaking with. " Well I'm glad you finally identified that.

Jesus christ look at this laughable line of reasoning. You cannot identify the differences between a feral and domestic cat, you just proved to everyone here you cannot by your hilarious misinterpretation of my question. I didn't say "will you identify them through collars" I said "How will you" as in if a domestic cat is loose or let outside without a collar how can you tell it's feral without further identification. You just proved you cannot, shooting someones pets is illegal, you'll be sitting in the back of a squad car for doing this. Since it's pretty evident now that you are indeed crazy, they probably will be able to do that in court too, say good bye to your guns idiot.

You can cry in court about how "Boo hoo cats are evil! They kill rats and other local wildlife! They carry diseases" but the court is only going to see a crazy man who decided to shoot peoples pets with very laughable justification.

Of course, this is your best case scenario. The worst is that you'll end up shooting someones cat who's a better marksmen than you are.

Once again you morons don't quite realize what I mean. I'm not saying killing invasive species is wrong, I am saying that your intentions are purely for joy, and whenever you're asked "Why" you're extremely defensive and try to justify to everyone that you're some kind of environmentally conscious guy who cares about his local bird population.

I am calling you a psychopath because instead of just saying "I really just wanna do it for fun" you're trying to cover it up.

Also shooting other peoples pets is illegal, and since you guys have failed hard at trying to explain how you will identify the differences between a feral and a domestic with no collar I can assure you that one day you'll end up in the back of someones squad car crying about how you care about the environment to a cop.


Now let me explain what my other problem with this. The media and liberals will eat it up. Can you read the headlines yet, retard? "Gun owners kill pets!" I'm sure that'll make the rest of us look great.

you can usually tell pretty easily. feral cats tend to have completely different behaviour, a lot more jumpy and cautious, often have one eye and a ear torn off because of fights, bad coat of fur, etc

domestic cats look like domestic cats, and act like them. feral cats look fucking feral.

If your pet doesn't have a collar and is on someone else's property(as it would need to be in order to be shot) then I'm fairly certain some squaddies aren't gonna come and buttfuck you.

>>30987756
My god look at this retard.

Here let me just make this clear
http://www.straypetadvocacy.org/PDF/AnimalCrueltyLaws.pdf

No, you can't shoot peoples pets. Holy shit, you're a moron if you think there aren't legal consequences for killing pets.

Now this might be alright in some areas, but typically when you kill someones pet or domesticated animal you have to justify that it was damaging your livestock, as in unless you're a farmer it's very unlikely that any of you retards are getting away with killing someones cat or dog.

What is repeated in many states is "Intentionally or recklessly subjects an animal to cruel mistreatment, cruel neglect, kills or injures an
animal without the owner’s consent, cruelly or unnecessarily kills or injures any animal.”

Most are misdemeanors with a 1000 dollar fine and or 6 months in jail. So here's my new question for you guys. Is killing someones cat really worth six months in jail for?

Even if all of you killed dozens of cats a day, you'll never be able to really make much of a dent against the problem. The answer to this problem is to petition your states to create a law requiring the owner of these cats to keep them inside, or someone prevent them from leaving the owners property.
>>
>>30987899
So now we're from shooting stray cats to killing house pets. Stop shifting the goal posts. We get it, cats are pure and cannot do wrong in your eyes, and that every cat is someone's pet.
>>
>>30987939
Killing invasive species isn't the issue, idiot. It's you not being able to prove to me that you can identify a domestic cat with no collar on.
>>
>>30986895
So you hate native birds then?
>>
>>30987958
Yea fuck birds, they shit on my car, fuck them.

Why do you hate cars bro? Can't afford one? lel poorfag.
>>
>>30987954
That's not how the law works mate, familiarize yourself with the concept of mens rea and then realize it's probably a good idea to put collar on your pet or better yet not let it run around doing whatever the fuck it wants.
>>
>>30988010

I figure this is relevant to this thread.

There is nothing inherently "inhumane" about shooting a pest species. There is nothing "psychotic" about engaging in an activity that humans have been engaging in for millenia: pest control.

If anyone has mental issues, it's the limpwristed numales that take issue with these activities.
>>
>>30988063
In some states you can, in others you cannot. But many stories in here and likely scenarios you guys use arent a cat or dog peeing in your yard, which is a ridiculous reason to shoot someones pet over, its you guys basically hunting them. "Killing cats for fucking" isn't doing anything listed in exemptions that some states have.

If all cats were forced with a collar on, that might be alright, but since a lot of owners do not do this and many places do not force owners to do so, you are very likely to kill a domesticated cat and not a feral. I don't care if you guys think you're protecting the environment by killing pets, the fact of the matter is that if you think walking around neighborhoods and shooting peoples cats is a good idea, I have bad news for you.
>>
>>30988140
Killing someones pets isn't pest control, it's actually called a misdemeanor in most places.

If the pet is a pest, it very much is. It doesn't have to be born in the wild to kill chickens and run off birds.

>it's actually called a misdemeanor in most places.

If you just shoot it as it stands on a street corner, sure. But if it's on my land and demonstrably causing damage I can, and will, put a .22-250 up its ass.

You really need to stop shifting the goalposts and stop all of this projection. Plus, it's illegal to walk around town shooting at animals. If it's on someone's property, not wearing a collar, and is fucking shit up, Mitten's owners should have been more responsible and gave it some identification before letting it run rampant over everyone else's land.

Ausfag here, ive shot a few feral cats before. True ferals out in the bush, some of them can get as big as a fox and weigh as much as 15 kilos. Ive used .22lr .243win and .308 on them.
.22lr is more than adequate.
What ranges are we talking about here? How built up is it? If its right in the middle of the 'burbs then i reccomend CCI quiets. 710 FPS with a 40gr segmented hollowpoint for instant expansion on smal game. About as loud as you smacking a thong (flip flop for you burgers) on some concrete if youre not using a suppressor. If ypu do have a suppressor the loudest noise will be the sound of the pin hitting the casing. Hope that helps OP
>>
You can tell a feral cat by the look of it. If it doesn't have a collar it is going to get shot. When in doubt I'll just kill it. A feral cat and a house cat that are roaming outside are the same thing: decimators of native bird and mammal populations. Look at what they have done to all of Hawaii's endemic species. Keep your cat indoors and it lives.

This is just a shitty, but sadly common, attempt at trying to shield yourself from rebuttals. If you convince yourself you know what the other guy truly is thinking, you can conveniently blow off anything he says as a lie. It's a pathetic """argument""" tactic.

If you can pet them, they can be re-homed.

Put a spin on it, start selling authentic barn cats to hipsters. Tell them that the cats have to eat live prey only, make the hipsters buy mice from you. You'll be a millionaire in no time.

About the time the hipsters start wising up to what you're doing, come out with a line of authentic canned BarnCat Prey (TM). Just relabel some Friskies shreds and double your fortune.

Cats have been around with humans for ages.

They keep vermin away (mice, rats, opposum). And help control nuisance bugs like roaches.

We got the call for the cull after abut 50 of them were re-homed. He had 20 mothers that had given birth so there were cats fucking everywhere. Toms and current preggos were high value targets. After we disposed on the dead ones into the shitpond the vet came out and fixed a bunch to help keep everything under control.

>>30989404
Yea so many really friendly ones that had to go. But he had around 300 before a huge adopt-a-thon thing that got homes for a lot of the good ones.

Cat/dog shooters - cunts like you are the primary reason I've basically stopped giving a shit about gun rights, despite enjoying guns myself. I want nothing at all to do with any of you kill happy hicks. Honestly, reading your bullshit on practically every single website even tangentially related to guns on a regular god damn basis makes me want to vote pro-gun control...purely out of spite. I'm not alone here.

They both look the same on the inside

This is just a sampling of the work that's been done. I couldn't find the specific study I was looking for, which documented rat depredation on hatcheries fish in (iirc) Scandanavia. There was another study by USDA (iirc- it may have been in Australia) that documented rat depredation on newborn livestock. Get enough rats together and they'll eat a calf or lamb. I couldn't find that one, either.

The problem with rats is, they're omnivores. They don't just target other animals, they'll also target crops.

>had a garden destroyed by the little bastards shitting in it
>had to replace all their pullies and belt on their car because a fucking cat decided to catch a nap under the hood

I use to hate sitting on my back porch and listening to cats catch and kill rabbits. The little fucks killed them for fun too, never ate on them.

Fuck feral cats, and fuck you if you can't keep your stupid ass outside cat on your property. Only thing worse are the fucking trash pandas.

Same applies for dogs.

Cats are the only thing saving your city from a catastrophic plague. They predate primarily on rodents and little birds. l2foodchain

Moralfagging aside, unless you guys have an idea how to dispose of high number of dead cats, I would recommend just repealing them of.

Christ. I own Cats and i love these little critters.

But i understand if Australians hunt them because they fuck up their local fauna.

can't believe there are so much people here getting triggered over this. I thought /k/ is full of hunters and protectors of the wilds.

Feral cats arent even cute or clean, theyre literally possum-tier ugly disgusting vermin that carry disease and end up getting animals you actually care about killed.

North carolina is real bad on feral cats because of the same sympathy people in this thread are feeling, they just fucking neuter and spay them by the hundreds instead of putting on the big boy pants and eradicating a pest infestation.

also Every city in israel is packed with "feral" cats, mainly tiberius, to the point where people just step on them if theyre in the way without a second thought

I hear there's a sizeable Asian population in Australia.
